As my old bike got damaged (a 1991 FZR 1000) I needed a "new" one.
Decided to get myself a nice V2 and bought one. Import from Italy, build in 2003, used to be silver but due to scratches now in black and clean.
Here it is:

Condition is quite good, bike has done 18k miles, runs great, all fluids changed, even the rear brake is working.
 
Looks lovely mate, a new can and a few decals from Oli on this forum will have her looking great.
Enjoy the V-twin power.
This is a great forum , full of helpful (and piss taking) people so if you need anything just ask.

... wind protectors?...

As I'm a beginner with this bike you'll need to press my nose against the part you are mentioning. :eek:

Stickers are in progress as a mate has the skills and a plotter at hand.
Will most likely be a lion on the sides in darker gold and some original matt-black foil for the fuel tank and the rear. :doug

Thanks for the warm welcome. :biggrin

I'm talking about the hand wind protectors. They are attached at the side of the fornt fairing. have a look at my profile or any RSV 2001-2003.

PD I actually quite like the look of the bike without them.

Ah, I was wondering why there are pins in the front fairing without a reason on mine. There are also four screws underneath that seem useless. Driving like this isn't really blowing the hands off though...yet. :bounce
 
Welcome, nice bike but ain't they all... Just one thing can't you make the lion head on the side a wee bit BIGGER??

There is suppost to be a left and a right wind deflectors to the sides of the headlight secure with two bolts on top and two on buttom I beleive those are the pin holes you are refering too (see pict)

Took me a while to focus on the bike in the picture.. :thumbup

Reason I never noticed the deflectors is: The Mille is rare here and (the one which is now) mine was the first I saw in the flesh.

Have done around 1k miles now, fuel usage between 56.5mpg (on the Autobahn, around 80 mph) and 50mpg in twisty-curves-fun-mode.

Doesn't burn oil, runs great,no problems at all... :biggrin
